Imo, the best one is the one that fits the user's needs the best. Though it sounds like a non-answer, distros are usually tailored for specific needs, so not necessarily the features or lack thereof from one distro disregard another.

Imo, the Monogatari light novels (where the Bakemonogatari series come from) and Lord of the Rings both are pretty interesting, but they can be insufferably verbose.

Copypasta of my comment in the post in the F-Droid community:

Chrono is extremely good for me, given often having to have alarms in the oddest of times, and it allowing me to schedule alarms as one-time only, daily, for specific weekdays, for specific dates, or for date ranges, as well as having the options to force to work in the background if lack of memory in the phone kills it.

As for alternatives I wish I could find, Librera Reader is still the best ebook reader I found outside of Google Play, but I could use it having better controls. Might even take the dust off my PS Vita to read ebooks, as I abhor touch controls due to them usually not being optimized for either precision or view space available (even on-screen controls might help), and on the Vita I can use the physical controls to move the ebooks' pages around.

If the person doesn't know how to code, just ask some of those AI tools available around. If on Windows, the person could even ask for the AI to make a .bat script that only exits after pressing enter or the sort, to be as straight-forward as possible.

Python and other programming languages can do that too, if the person also wants everything offline, and/or can't focus while waiting for webpages to load.

Been using that myself and though not ideal since too many concurrent interests, it helps a bunch.

Luckily !gamedelistings@thebrainbin.org (previously !gamedelistings@lemm.ee on lemm.ee but even then) is going slowly. If it warrants too many posts, it is a sign of too many games no longer being accessible.

On a side note, though it didn't reach the treshold for changing laws, I imagine it could be the start of a change towards culture, as people insatisfied with the issue may see they're not alone. And that group's statement may even bring unwanted attention to the matter, as then more people, potentially even people that didn't know why they are insatisfied, may start getting up to speed.

Maybe participating in forums and groups for/in your target language would help keep training?

Studying German's being a bit weird. I keep defaulting to Norwegian for some reason. Still, since I'm policing myself, hopefully I can separate them, as it was with Spanish/Portuguese.

Also since I have some more free time now, I'm back at reading, with some Japanese works as a focus.

Sorry, don’t remember the right way to call them out

[!the_pack@lemmy.world](/c/the_pack@lemmy.world), which becomes !the_pack@lemmy.world

From what I can observe lurking, communication between Lemmy and Mastodon is pretty half-baked, with things overall boiling down to users on Mastodon being able to follow Lemmy users, but not the opposite, and posts from Mastodon users may appear on Lemmy but with the text body appearing as title instead. Issues like these may appear due to how each site engine handles the data received. If you must follow users from Mastodon on Reddit-like forums, Mbin is far more compatible.

If still using Reddit 1~2 months later, maybe follow them through RSS? I remember coming across RSS bridge tools compatible with Reddit as I looked for other services.

 

Specifically, the one right before vocals start.

Sounds like something made of bronze, like a bell or some sort of plate, but much deeper than I'd expect.

 

Besides lemmy.eco.br, feddit.it and lemmy.pt? Tried looking for but information seems scarce.

Also asking for someone who doesn't speak English, and no need to be Reddit-like instances specifically, so Mastodon, Peertube, BookWyrm, etc. work too.

Thanks in advance!

 

On another post, an user had asked for the filters I use, so pasting them below to make usability in Mbin better.

Some notes:

  • From what I checked from page sources of a few instances using Mbin, and considering a few of those filters were for kbin.social (RIP) and then repurposed without major adaptations, those filters shouldn't break on most Mbin instances, at least as the engine and its implementations are now.
  • Using thebrainbin.org as the site for the filters to check, but that can be replaced with the site you may be using, like fedia.io, kbin.earth, etc.
  • For disabling a given filter, or to add comments on Ublock Origin's filters page, add a ! to the beginning of the line.
  • Worth noting those filters also make the title and body of posts disappear in the posts' respective pages when active.

The filters:

Hiding specific poststhebrainbin.org##a[href="href_here"]:upward(article[id^="entry-"])

Explanation:
href_here is what appears after the domain name, so for example:
https://thebrainbin.org/m/fediverse@lemmy.world/t/545669/This-is-not-a-complaints-forum
What you want is /m/fediverse@lemmy.world/t/545669/This-is-not-a-complaints-forum, which turns the filter into this:
thebrainbin.org##a[href="/m/fediverse@lemmy.world/t/545669/This-is-not-a-complaints-forum"]:upward(article[id^="entry-"])

This filter needs to be repeated for each post you want to hide.

Probably could replace href= for href^= (matches anything that starts with what comes after it) or href*= (matches anything that includes what comes after it), if this is faster for anyone, so for example:
thebrainbin.org##a[href^="/m/fediverse@lemmy.world/t/545669/"]:upward(article[id^="entry-"])
thebrainbin.org##a[href="/545669/"]:upward(article[id^="entry-"])
